New rumor alert! (like we don't have enough)
Pikmin Coming to Project Cafe. Nintendo Talking with Rockstar
Regardless of the rumor, Pikmin 3 would make a ton of sense. Besides having not heard anything about it in years, using a touchscreen to select and manage Pikmin could be really great.

i will kill you
Edit: LOL @ Nintendo talking to Rockstar being news
AWESOME for Pikmins. Finally, Pikmin 3 will fill me with holy love. Hope it's more Pikmin 2 than Pikmin 1. I don't want them to rush it for launch and then have a deficient third Pikmin game.

The console folks at least (certainly in all the circles I ever travelled all the hardcore games grew up on computers, whether they were IBMPCs, Commodore, Atari, TRS80, or Apple). And even then I wonder if that's regional. Here it seemed like the Sega dominated until the Playstation appeared.

I know I have a soft spot for Nintendo. That's why I hate on them so often. If I didn't love what they represent, the amazing catalogue of games they have created over the years, they wouldn't be worth the effort to smear for their recent decline.
I hate because I love, you know the sayin'. Tough love and all that.
No developer makes games as high quality as Nintendo. They understand that these are games, not movies, and they make so their games are positively brimming with the sort of happy-go-lucky energy that makes this hobby such a joy.

ASSASSINO!

Eh? Enix just confirmed a few days ago DQX was still coming to Wii.
Anihawk said:
I love VALVE and certainly they are one of the only other developers at the same level as Nintendo.
Well, we'll see. The game was announced two and half years ago so I have my doubts.Amir0x said:
I know DQVII for example came out on PS1 when PS2 was already out but the difference here is that Wii is already dead in Japan. And the game is not coming out at least in another year or so.

So very true, I really don't think DQX will be on the Wii.GCX said:

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
This makes me doubt the rumor. Nintendo's not likely to show video of games running 18 months before launch. We didn't see a single game running on the Wii until the E3 before its November release. Even the Spaceworld 2000 stuff was mostly renders. Nor do I believe Nintendo is showing off the game to anyone outside of top management.

makes sense to replace pikmin with kirby. i imagine pikmin 3 might have been in the planning stages for the wii at some point, but sometime last year they had already decided to make it a new console game instead of a 2011 release. so when miyamoto was asked what system it was coming out for, he just lied instead of revealing that a new system was coming out relatively soon.
if gta 5 is next year, then it makes sense to have it as a launch title... not that it would mean much. i imagine a lot of these late-gen, development hell games, like beyond good & evil 2 and half-life 3 might be launch titles if they're releasing on ps3, 360, and pc in late-ish 2012.
i'm really surprised nintendo hasn't opened up a relationship with valve. i know valve's idea of providing value and not shitting on customers with stupidly high prices for forever goes against nintendo's recent philosophy, but as far as game design goes, i bet they're kinda similar.
but they're all the way in oregon...

Came in here expecting bullshit, but this is huge. There's no announcement like nintendo announcements. The timing on this is genius with Sony and ms locked into their machines for the next bunch of years.

A wiimote shaped controller with a screen over the entire upperside of it and haptic feedback + a pressure sensitive screen (so it could sense the difference between resting your finger on it and pushing down) sounds the most probable to me.
Sounds like that immersion haptic technology might be convincing enough to simulate buttons, analogs sticks, etc. This way games can have custom button layouts or even implement completely new controls.

DeathNote said:What about the NGP? It has everything, including a touchscreen, except a 5" screen?
Yep, The controller wouldn't have to be any wider than the NGP.
Going with the idea it is a conventional 6" tablet screen, it would probably be 4.8" by 3.6", rather than widescreen. That would give you another inch of height to comfortably fit the controls along the sides.

IDK if its because it's 4 in the morning here or if its because I have gone pretty crazy with the head ache and lack of sleep but ... I think I can see how all the shit for this controller can actually fit together. And if I knew more about the tech behind the screen (Like, is it JUST a touch screen display with ALL the info coming from the console or what? Because if its ONLY that then maybe its not nearly as pricey as it sounds)
Maybe I should draw a mock up later.

Valve are all about platform equality. I'm sure there would have been a strong alliance between Nintendo and Valve if the Wii could run Source games sufficiently.AniHawk said:
I wouldn't be that surprised if Nintendo tried to one up Gabe's Sony conference arrival from last year and had Half-Life 3 debut at the Wii 2 unveiling.
That's a lie, I actually would be a bit surprised. But I could still see it happening, if Nintendo have done their homework on what actually matters to the 'hardcore'.
Having a bunch of big, respected multiplatform games demonstrated in graphically superior versions at the e3 conference would be a very important step in altering the dedicated gamer demographics' perception of Nintendo.

Let's suppose that the layout of the controller is entirely touch, thus permitting to customize buttons for every game.
Krev said:
That would be even remotely plausible if Valve had set a precedent for such a thing. Not only will they not make other platform owners wait on a game purely because of an as-yet unavailable console, they wouldn't announce a game ~18 months before it's due to hit shelves (Episode Three's informal announcement notwithstanding).

And how will you be able to determine exactly where your thumb is without looking at the touch screen? Having physical buttons allows you to "feel" your way around the controller.

I think it's unlikely to be much more than that, It should have enough processing power to decode some form of video stream, so it could perhaps run simple apps as an alternative to doing that.
You completely missed my point. Yes 91MB isn't much next to the 512MB in the PS3 and 522Mb in the X360, but the same also goes for the Wii's specs overall next to the HD twins. Anything more then about 100MB main memory would have been a complete waste in the Wii, as you would start to get bottlenecked by the CPU and GPU at that point. But yeah, like I said, the 3MB VRAM is itself a bottleneck in the systems current configuration. If the system had twice the VRAM it would look so much damn better on a HDTV.Bufbaf said:
